Pitch Count of the night: Joe Kennedy, 123. Why did he go that far, at age 23 for a team that won't win 60 games? Probably because Lee Gardner followed him with 2/3 of an inning of 4-run ball for the loss. Managing the Devil Rays is something like competing on "Iron Chef", and having Chairman Kaga reveal a huge ziggurat of lint.

Kit Pellow went yard. Pellow's logged seven years in the minors as a replacement level 3B/1B. It's a nice thing to see him hit a major league bomb. He's a comparable player, probably superior, to Vinny Castilla, and has been for a couple years. But hey, AOL Time Warner's flush with cash, right? For the record, the HR count for the year is Pellow 1, Gabe Kapler 0.
